Common questions

How long does an FBI background check take for Multnomah County residents?
Electronic submissions through a channeler usually come back in about 24 to 48 hours. Mailing ink cards directly to the FBI takes much longer.

Is an FBI background check the same as an Oregon state check?
No. The FBI check covers federal and state records reported to the FBI. Some Oregon employers and licensing boards run their own state check, so follow your agency’s instructions.
